Large Piece of the Month #27 - [ SANTA CLAUS IS NOT COMING TO TOWN ]

SYMBIANIZE'sLARGE PIECE OF THE MONTH #27
Graphics Contest

What is an LPOTM (Large Piece of the Month)?
A "large piece" is an artwork with a specified canvass size of at least 600×600 (width & height)... not reaching a similar size to a wallpaper but has enough size to be considered "large".

. . .

Theme:
The theme of this month's LPOTM is... "Santa Claus Is Not Coming To Town"

The contestant must have at least 50 posts and has joined Symbianize 2 months before the contest.

All contestants must only have ONE (1) entry.

The entry must be of size not smaller than 600x600px and not larger than 1024x1024px.

DO NOT PUT YOUR USERNAME, REAL NAME, or any word in your artwork that could show/reveal your identity. However, you can put some text/s that have great association with your artwork (for artistic/descriptive purposes).

All contestants MUST submit their final artwork in either JPEG or PNG format together with the PSD and Image Link file for inspection via PM (private message) to the contest host.

Editing is allowed, but you can only edit your entry up to TWO (2) times. Once you have already made and submitted your entry, you cannot change it entirely anymore but you can still edit/modify some elements/parts of it so be careful.

About editing your entry: You must ask permission first to edit your entry via PM. Once approved of editing, send the edited entry (final artwork + PSD file) again to the host via PM and please include the "Reason for Editing" in the edited entry (via text file) or in the private message (ex. "Edited entry to V2/Added Layer Adjustments/Added some texts").

The entry MUST abide Symbianize Forum Guidelines.

Entries MUST NOT BE PREMADE!

For Microsoft Paint users, screenshots are required to be provided and placed within a ZIP file or a RAR file and included (download link attached) in the PM. To get screenshots on your work, click the "PrtScr" button on your keyboard, open a new Microsoft Paint document, click CTRL+V to paste the screenshot, and save it as a .JPG file to reduce byte size. The screenshot must also include the whole screen (start button, taskbar, filename title, windows menu bar, etc.). Provide as many screenshots as possible to atone for not being able to provide a PSD file.

Campaigning your entries in any form (Private Messaging, Posting, Shoutbox, etc.) is NOT ALLOWED in any manner in any forum and social networking sites. Anyone caught will receive a -30 reputation points and will be automatically DISQUALIFIED.
On the other hand, those who will report anyone campaigning their entries will receive a +10 reputation points.

— AWARD —

The WINNER of LPOTM shall receive the Symbianizers' Choice Award in Graphics ribbon.
